CREATE Community Day is an annual half-day forum for discussing the concerns about and approaches to sustainable accessibility research and a showcase of research led by CREATE members. Student researchers highlight their work and showcase a variety of individual projects.
Monday, May 20, 2024 | 1:45 – 6:00 p.m.
On the UW Seattle campus.
Register now! Registration requested by Thursday, May 16.
All are welcome.
This year, panel discussions will explore how changes to Title II of the American Disabilities Act, Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services, will impact public education including the UW, and explore the positive and negative roles data plays in the lives of people with disabilities and other minority communities.
Our Spring Research Showcase, co-sponsored by HuskyADAPT, will offer a glimpse into some of the outstanding work being done in the field of accessible technology here at the UW. Come meet the researchers and discover what’s new!
